How do you all hold a low wrist locator grip? Could you show some pics of the way you grip?

Thanks,

What are you calling a locator grip, a dished grip?

You hold them the way they are the most comfortable for you. Nothing special to it.

Should the fingers be on the grip like a hammer or angled like on a recurve

How ever it works best for you. My fingers aren't angled on a recurve.

Don't over think it.

I lay the hand into the bow with the lifeline on the grip all the way down.Pressure is mostly evenly distributed from top to bottom of grip.Its a stable and strong position for me with locator grips.Yaa kinda like the anology of the hammer you used or the position your hand and wrist would be in if throwing a straight punch jab.Not putting all the pressure between the thumb and pointer finger like an archer would hold using a highigh grip.

Wrist is not broken up or down.Its straight for me.I use a light grip.I dont choke the grip.Kinda like your holding a delicate bird and you dont want it to get away.But you dont want to hurt it either.I have shot alot of locator grips over years on my longbows and 50s style recurves.

This is how I do it.Works for me.Others may have variations or personal preferances

If the bow isn't balanced at draw your hand isn't where its supposed to be. Keep it simple.
